AS I LAY DYING Hellfest report from Tim: "This year's Hellfest was an unbelievable event. The stage became part of the audience during the set. It was not nearly as hot as previous years that are legendary for their mid-summer heat. We were also very honored to play with a lot of great up and coming bands. Band favorites included Mastodon & The Red Chord. Our official video for "FOREVER" premiered last week on Uranium and HEADBANGER'S BALL. We are very happy with the way it came out, so make sure to tune in." *Live Hellfest picture courtesy of Rev Aaron & ReturnToThePit.com http://www.asilaydying.com THE RED CHORD Hellfest report from Gunface: "Hellfest was the most out-of-control, shin-scraping time we have ever had. It was a sweat slip 'n' slide. I spent most of the time dodging the people that were all over the stage. At the end I had to just stop playing because I couldn't even move with all of the people up there. Tonight we are playing the first show of the Radiotakeover tour in Wilkes-Barre, PA. It's gonna be great!" *Live Hellfest picture courtesy of Rev Aaron & ReturnToThePit.com http://www.theredchord.com CATTLE DECAPITATION Tour update from Travis: "Cattle Decapitation's new album HUMANURE IS RELEASED! Check it out; it's our best one yet. Don't bother with Best Buy though; they refuse to carry the CD because of the cover. It's been banned in Germany and now in these chain stores in our own country!!! Please do not vote for George Bush this upcoming election. Well, the tour started off kind of odd. I broke my hand on the first day of tour just hours before the Chain Reaction show in Anaheim, CA. Four carpals were annihilated and a possible fracture of the scaffoid bone, an extremely hard to heal bone. We're still doing the tour!!! We're in Albuquerque, NM tonight playing with Cannibal Corpse and our friends in Black Dahlia and Severed Savior. We'll see you guys soon. Come out and check out the shows... dates are listed in the shows section at www.cattledecapitation.com." *photo by Mary Rose ZiON DoXoLoGY http://www.cattledecapitation.com New STARWOOD album gets 5 star mark on RocknWorld.com! Starwood's debut release "If It Ain't Broke, Break It!" received a 5 star rating on RocknWorld.com's review section. Other bands to have reached the 5 star rating recently are The Darkness, Sparta, HIM, and The Vines. The band was also featured in the Day In Rock section by AntiMusic where they occasionally highlight a standout CD on the day of release. The last CD featured was The Cure's new self-titled album. Congratulations guys! Here are some other links to reviews to check out: Epinions Metal Exiles You can vote for Starwood on Yahoo.com Internet radio HERE. Be sure to check out the bands new site at http://www.starwood-band.com/. FATES WARNING Update from Ray: "We went into this record being as creative as possible, and we worked really hard. We were facing some big changes that made the writing and recording a long, arduous process. The result is a record that is a lot heavier than past records. It's also more technical than any other record we've done." Fates Warning has also announced the track listing for the FWX: 1. Left Here 2. Simple Human 3. River Wide Ocean Deep 4. Another Perfect Day 5. Heal Me 6. Sequence # 7 7. Crawl 8. A Handful Of Doubt 9. Stranger (With A Familiar Face) 10. Wish FWX is scheduled for release on October 5th, 2004. *live photo by Chris Slack http://www.fateswarning.com VADER news update: VADER is going back from their tour through the Balkans, consisted of 10 gigs.
